And the Kids Thought…

It’s a bit late and I was too tired yesterday.  I was going from one channel to another when i stopped on Myx Music Channel were Craig David’s video of Insomnia is playing (after his concert in Manila people got so frenzy with him).   I am actually sad when people refer him to be the singer of Insomnia’s Korean version as if  he has just became popular because of this hit.  Get to listen to the other songs please….

The two kids at home said ‘waaaaaa ginaya si Wheesungsshi’.  I bursted to laughter .  They said waaaa he copied Wheesungsshi (the kids call him that way –i taught them of course).   It was so funny because they never get to listen to the original Insomnia so all the while they thought that Wheesung’s version, which I constantly play at home or in car, is the original one.

The little boy goes along saying ‘mas pogi kaya si Wheesungsshi sa kanya tska magaling pang sumayaw’.   He got some loyalty to Wheesung hahaha saying he is more handsome than Craig David and dances better than him too.

Influence…

Wheesung at Love Concert

Insomnia really brought Wheesung closer to a lot of people.  Now if you search on the internet Insomnia is the next most tagged word associated with his name.  Over at You Tube, there are quite a number of people who posts about him related to this.  I hope they get to love Wheesung all the way and not just with Insomnia because he’s got a lot of amazing songs…

Anyway, Wheesung participated in the Love Concert last May 5 and I am glad to see his lovely face.  It is supposedly summer but his skin looks toned nowadays. 

By the way, hearing this reminds of of the great Craig David concert here in Manila.  The man is awesome…   

Thanks to tmn1957 for sharing this video post.

Insomnia in the Club

It’s probably best to go clubbing in Seoul these days with Wheesung hitting the spot singing Insomnia Live.  No wonder his recent performances on TV shows got some dj production design.

Wheesung recently graced Club Vera (I wonder where is this place in Seoul).  Thanks to kalikasati for uploading this fancam video.  This song is indeed hot as evident in the warm reception to it by the audience.

I can’t wait for the upcoming full length album, Wheesung mentioned in Pop Seoul’s  ‘In the Booth With’ that he will soon be launching his full length album.

Insomnia @MNET

I am not sure if this is the next program after Peppermint but it was quite long before a follow through performance is made for this extremely addicting song.  Wheesung graced MNET performing twice as nice as before but…

I still love the way he looked at Peppermint but the dancing is better in this show. The aviator is finally there but the jacket was all covering up Wheesung. Hmmm actually I just feel it doesn’t complement the outfit.

Insomnia @ Peppermint

I was in Cebu when this performance was aired in Lee Hana’s Peppermint show.  Wheesung and Lyn guested on this show which replaced Yoon Do Hyun’s Love Letter. 

I almost had the chance to watch this live as we have KBS Global channel at home but I was at work moreso in another place.   With the infectous effect of the song I know someone will post it right away in You Tube so thanks to jeuraznmv1 for doing so (and cherbear for the tip). 

Nothing came out of my mouth except ‘wow’.  Wheesung keeps on getting hotter. I love that jacket he wore and he looks cool with it.  Honestly I was expecting for heavy dancing while singing when I first saw the video thinking Wheesung might be showing off his great dancing skills and lung power.  Nevertheless the live performance is equally great as the MV.

This is the first time I saw Lyn perform live. The girl really has an amazing voice too, compliments well with Wheesung. I think she has been intimately linked with Wheesung, well i just read it somewhere.  Lyn got a really nice voice she looks cute but not as pretty as Ivy but her voice is far better than the two timer.

I like their duet in Wheesung’s 6th album ‘Prayer for the Soul’  their voices were both heavenly in that collaboration.  These guys are what you call ‘real singers’.   I love their version of Mirotic, they made it sound R&B and jazzy –cool i must day and better than the orginal.  I don’t have intentions of hurting the Cassies but this is my personal opinion.

Wheesung Comes Back @ MNET

A day after the release of the Korean version of Insomnia’s Music Video, Wheesung did a comeback at MNET’s Music Core (Feb 19, 2009) singing this song live for the very first time.

 

Wheesung is back in that all white outfit…he is so handsome and the hair style is the killer.  I wish he had that cool glasses on.  Wheesung sounds the same, recorded and live.   Mnet also did an interview with him…it was so cute that he was having hiccups while answering the VJ. 

The interview somehow showed the making of the video and the moves that Whesung demonstrated.  Barely 4 months from his last Comeback performance last year… Wheesung is back stronger with this song.  I bet a lot of Koreans are loving this song now. I will no longer be surprised to know if it turns number 1.

Whee Lyrics and Addicting ‘Insomnia’

I get requests for lyrics of different songs of  Wheesung.  Currently there is a tab on top that says Lyrics which contains  mix of all the lyrics that I have. It is not complete but it features most of the songs that I love.  

I am currently organizing this page so there is a category now on the right frame that says Lyrics.  There is a page for every song lyrics so its easy to find.  I am still in the process of cleaning the tab so there are few songs on the newly created category, I will slowly move the one on the tab to this.

I found the ‘Insomnia’  lyrics [Korean version] and its already posted on the category lyrics on the right panel.  Thanks to jpopasia for posting the lyrics in Hangul with Romanized version and English translations. 

Wheesung is so gifted in writing lyrics.  This man must be pulling all the inspiration and passion from his life’s experiences.  Talking about a burning love that even a tear will not put off.  Longing for someone and willingness to wait for love.  So ironic, the beat is so lively that you want to dance with it but the meaning of the song is just as sad as unrequited love would be.

Right now I am so addicted to Insomnia…and flashes of the MV lingers in my mind.

Insomnia is Hot!

This is so unexpected…few days ago I just read that Craig David has given his ‘Insomnia’  song to Wheesung for a Korean cover.  All along i though he is preparing for this but little did I know its going to be out today. Yes officially out the MV for this highly danceable song of UK artist Craig David.

I am totally in awe with this very pleasant surprise from Wheesung.  Seeing that video (thanks to cherbear for the tip but video credits goes to elaisfangirl from youtube).  There was not a single moment that Wheesung did not look hot in this MV.   There were like butterflies on my stomach seeing him and he was just amazing in his own version of Insomnia.  I always love Wheesung in stylish but polish look.  He look so hip in the very beginning and ended it explosively.    He got a lot of good angles in this video.   I am so digging this part 2:54 when he was flipping his hand, he looks so cool.   But before that at 1:48 – 2:04, my R&B demigod was smokin hot!  The last portion of the MV was a damn good way to end it, at 3:28 Wheesung just showed how great of a dancer he is.   

More than this nice MV which I bet a lot of non-fan would just blah. Wheesung did justice to this song. I am  over proud of him…I know he wrote the lyrics and the way he sang the song was so him.  Yes the piece was borrowed and the song does not require him to belt that much but he gave it his signature touch.  Humming at the last part and the rapping was absolutely great.

Now I can’t wait to see a live performance… i couldn’t help how his sexiness and hotness will conquer the stage.  The dance moves from the video wasn’t to much but it did give out the much needed attitude and impact.   I was just a bit scared (hahaha) with his fingers…it’s crooked oh it does not have anything to do with the song

Wheesung you’re gonna give me an insomnia with this MV and song… I am giving it 5 stars. Promote it on TV please I wanna see you dance and sing that way. 축하해요! 잘 했어요!

2nd Teaser is Up!

Another teaser has been posted on the official website of Wheesung.  Just when I thought the first one is the would be album cover…another one has been released which is worth becoming the album cover too.

another potential would be album cover of Wheesung's upcoming album

The pictures are getting better each time I visit his site.  A new video (2nd so far) is likewise posted.  I am pretty sure it will again garner some Wheesung bashing remarks specially portions when his eye was on close-up with some sort of black smudges around it .  There was also a scene where he appears to be rising from the wall.  I will bet there will be a new set of Whee-bashing remarks about it.  Wheesung showed some sexiness on that video — i love the portion when he looks down in a side view shot, this is really his best angle.

Keep it coming Wheesung.  Counting days on your comeback…3 days to go!

Another Collaboration – Lee Hyun Do this Time

I am truly missing Wheesung as day passes, a single mention of his name from articles that I am reading in the internet gets me excited…expecting some info on his comeback or possible performance.  I know he still probably resting right after that vocal chord operations but I really want to see him back or know something about him now.

(credits to Krnloop.WordPress.com)

He actually did another collaboration with artist named Lee Hyun Do (Koreans forgive me for I don’t know him) with a newly released digital single. The song is included in the latter’s single project which is a compilation of his collaboration with various artist. The song is entitled ‘We’re not Crazy’.  Of course I would be most interested on the song where he collaborated with Wheesung.

I listened to the song and it’s another different Wheesung singing (I am still surprised on with his rendition of Love Seat).   One wordto best describe him… versitile.  His voice sounded unusually rounded in this song but he made his signature style in some parts so that would make you realize its Wheesung singing (1:35 of the song).  It a different taste of Wheesung’s singing plus the rhythm of the song belongs to a very familiar genre that he sings –R&B.  Get to listen to the song from this link.

Bravo Wheesung!  There might be few news about you but you filled the gap with wonderful singles while you are away.
